Policy Note of of Tamil Nadu
The digitization of FMB in the pilot project through outsourcing cost Rs.100 per FMS. NIC has developed a Software for digitization called COLLABLAND. By using this software, the cost of digitizing can be drastically reduced to under Rs.10/- per FMS. In the light of the development of COLLABLAND software by NIC, FMS digitization in the entire state can be completed at an estimated cost of under Rs.10 crores.
